Impact of race and ethnicity on clinical outcomes and recurrence post-ureteral reconstruction.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Ureteral stricture disease (UTSD) poses significant challenges in reconstructive urology, with recent advances highlighting disparities in healthcare outcomes based on race and ethnicity. This study investigates the impact of race and ethnicity on clinical outcomes following ureteral reconstruction. Methods: We conducted a single-centre prospective analysis of 233 patients who underwent ureteral reconstruction for UTSD from 2014 to 2023. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, surgical details and outcomes were collected. Patients were stratified by race (White vs. non-White) and ethnicity (Hispanic vs. non-Hispanic). Statistical analyses included Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney Results: Our cohort included 233 patients who underwent ureteroplasty with 108 (46.4%) non-White patients, and 71 (30.5%) were Hispanic. No significant differences were found in recurrence rates, complications, or stricture-free survival between racial and ethnic groups. Prior reconstructions were more prevalent among non-White patients (26.9% vs. 16.0%; Conclusion: This study highlights that although recurrence and complication rates do not significantly differ by race or ethnicity, disparities exist in clinical presentations, with non-White and Hispanic patients presenting with longer stricture lengths and higher body mass index. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to address underlying disparities in healthcare delivery and access.
